Nov 13, 2024

Ham Eun-jung became the center of the topic again, remembering the days when she was interested in Tiara, which was reignited by CEO Kim Kwang-soo's mention of Hwayoung.

SBS 'Take Off and Dolsing Foreman', which aired on the 12th, featured Noh Sa-yeon, Chef Jeong Ji-sun, and Ham Eun-jung.

On this day, Ham Eun-jung drew attention by revealing behind-the-scenes stories as a member of the best group T-ara of her time, such as 'BeepBeep'Lolipoli'Lovidoubi'.

Lee Sang-min said "Songs that singers don't like hit the jackpot" while Ham Eun-jung said "I hated the retro concept because it looked so tacky."The members also confessed that they didn't like it.

Then "But one day, the CEO came to the office drunk and 'You don't know retro." I'm a real retro generation. This has to go to the diamond step. I don't want to cry and eat mustard..I did it while doing it 'Lolipoli' is good for me'" he recalled.

He also said "Loviedervy" is out of fashion because he told me to do shuffle dance, but "I can start again." You can do it if you do it, so I shuffled it and did it," he said, acknowledging CEO Kim Kwang-soo's insight.

But the timing wasn't so good. Recently, CEO Kim Kwang-soo was in the midst of a hwajeong talk.

CEO Kim Kwang-soo stirred controversy by bringing up the T-ara bullying case again 12 years ago in a broadcast on the 9th. Kim Kwang-soo acknowledged the discord between the existing members of T-ara and the new member Hwayoung, saying, `We will tear up the contract of Hwayoung and Hyoyoung and release it without conditions, so do your job.", "(The members of the T-ara) went ahead with the broadcast because they were not at fault," he said.

In response, Huayoung said, `I don't know what I meant by making biased and distorted remarks about the events 12 years agoThe authenticity of the T-ara bullying case is drawing attention again as he refuted that he was verbally abused and assaulted by members of the T-ara, saying "What was bullied is true".

In response, Ryu Hyo-young's older sister Ryu Hyo-young's threatening text to Arum, a new member of the T-ara, was released, causing controversy.

When sisters Ryu Hwa-young and Ryu Hyo-young appeared on a broadcast in 2017 and mentioned the bullying incident, A, who identified himself as a former staff member of T-ara, revealed it. Mr. A said Ryu Hyo-young should go to Arum "Music Bank" and get hit with dust. He claimed to have sent threatening messages such as `Wait',"I'll scratch your face so you won't be able to broadcast",'`They should be beaten to get their act together.'

Even at that time, Ryu Hyo-young said, "Hwayoung is having a hard time, so she came forward with the feeling of her family."` he apologized, but he remained criticized.

Ryu Hyo-young responded on the 11th, saying, `I thought it was foolish of myself to send that text and I still regret it. I apologized the other day for the text I sent to Arum, but I still feel sorry.'"But there was nothing I could do when I was only 20 years old. I was afraid that my younger brother would make a bad choice to let go of his hands and stay still. I think you all know that it was my best, which was young and lacking to protect my precious family."

A few years later, he has been on the rise again, but as a result of putting firewood back into the 'bullying controversy'. Of course, there must be pride in T-ara and its members as it is a legendary girl group that shook the Republic of Korea, but it just happened that the situation wasn't good to mention 'then'. Although the members are scattered, attention is being paid to how the ongoing 'Hwahyeong bullying controversy' will end.
